Postdoctoral Fellowships in Temperate Forest Ecology The Smithsonian Institution seeks two postdoctoral fellows in temperate forest ecology as part of the expansion of the Center for Tropical Science (CTFS) into the temperate zone. CTFS coordinates a network of large-scale long-term forest research plots in 16 tropical and 4 temperate countries. The expansion of CTFS into temperate forests is supported by the HSBC Climate Partnership (www.hsbccommittochange.com) and is known as the SI Global Earth Observatory project. Candidates for these 2-year positions are sought in the areas of community and population ecology, climate change biology, and forestry. Both positions will involve synthesis and analysis of new and existing data on the long-term dynamics of temperate forests and require a strong analytical background. Candidates should have an established record of research and scholarly publication. Review of applications will begin 30 November 2008.
